Top 8 Highest Paid Black Soccer Stars At The World Cup
7. Patrice Evra
Country: France
Club Team: Manchester United
Position: Defender
Age: 29
Earnings: $4 million
With Guinean heritage, a Senegalese birth, and France nationality, Patice Evra is one of Manchester United’s gems and considered one of the best left backs in the world. Evra has seen his career blossom in the past decade, ironically due to injuries he suffered in 2000 while playing for Nice. He was pushed off offense and into defense with the left back position and has excelled ever since. At his first World Cup, Evra is captioning the French team and has already made headlines, claiming that he has received flack from Senegalese nationals over his decision to play for France, telling the press that “I was called a monkey who grovels before the white man and labeled a money-obsessed traitor to the nation.”
